ARRANGEMENTS MADE
FOR THE


 During the past week every obstacle in the way of successful live stock ex- hibition and sales-day at Canaan has been removed. Complete arrangements have already been nude and success IS assured. In case Tuesday, April 12, should prove to be rery stormy or in- element day then the exhibition will take place the first pleasant day. The exhibition will be held in Samuel \. Eddy's meadow, few rods east of the town hall. The meadow is just east of his barn and adjoins the highway It is large, level field with stream of spring water running through it. It is in the center of our village. yet far enough away from the railroad tracks to avoid any danger of animals being frightened by the cars. There is no better location in the state for holding such an exhibition. MT Eddy deserves much praise for his kindness and pubhc spirit in providing such desirable | place TOT the eXulDlt1On.
 | It is ecpected that every farmer in to,cn will briug a sack of hay to feed his stock at noon, and If convenient bring an extra sack for stock from out of town. The committee have purchased one load of hay with which stock from out of tocn will be foddered gratis at | vided so that stock from out of town can remain here over night if necessary.
 Landlord Warner will make ample preparation to feed hungry mortals. At his hotel an excellent dinner can be ob- tained for 50 cents. He will also pro- | vide a lunch counter where oysters, sandwiches, pie, cake, tea and coffee can be obtained at reasonable prices by those who do not wish to purchase Q regular dinner.
 THE CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS will have tent on the exhibition ground, provided with chairs, tables and writ | ing materials. All exhibitors are reques- | ted to call there, record their names, and state the number and nature of their exhibit so that full report of the exhibit and sales may be published. Near the tent will be two bulletin ! boards. One board will be marked "For Sale;" the other Wanted" " Every person who has stock, hay, grain, ! potatoes, farming utensils, Or in fact any kind of property for sale, Is requested to make out a list of the same on card board or paper box cover about the size of sheet of letter paper, and tack the list on the bulletin board designated For Sale" Those who wish to pur- chase property are requested to make out a list of their wants and tack the same on the bulletin board designated Wanted" This will furnish buyer and seller the information they desire, expedite matters, and save asking a thousand questions. It may cheat the NEWS out of some advertising, but the NEWS had public spirit euought to sug- gest the use of the bulletin boards in order to leave nothing undone that eau be done to make the occasion success and to inaugurate day or institution which farmers and others will find indispensable in the future.
 We have heard either directly or in directly from the majority of farmers II town and they are ready to aid in estab fishing an annual exhibition and sales day here. The list is so long we mus omit 1t, but in order to show the inter est taken we mention .few men from out of town who will exhibit stock here Wm. M. Chapln, James Roraback, H. Tripp, Geo. H. Spur and others from Sheffield. U. H. Miner, Henry Belden Deacon Nurse, H. E. Wetherell and others from Falls Village and Hunts vile. Cochrane Bros, Geo. Potter and others from West Cornwall. James R Eggleston, Smith Cleveland and others from Salisbury and Lakeville We could extend this list but 1t is unneces sary.
 If any doubt the benefit derived iron a live stock exhibition and sale Vt would call their attention to the fac that on March the farmers of New Milford and vicinity held their first an nual live stock exhibition and sale or the village green in New Milford. Tn, ' results were so satisfactory that prom inent farmer of New Milford Is urging : his brethren to hold another or simila exhibition before the spring work com l mences.
 All necessary arrangements for thu l exhibition at Canaan April 12 have beel made. Bring your exhibit here tha day, and urge your neighbor to d. , likewise.
 The ladies have asked if they ma , attend. Certainly they can, and wei come. We see no reason why 8 liv stock exhibition and sales-day shoul, not be as properly conducted as a agricultural fair and horse trot, and w cannot discover any objection to ladie being present.
 He Cheerfully Recommends 1t.
